If you’re like me, you’re outdoors any chance you can get. Whether it’s hiking and biking or skiing and snowboarding, I’m an active guy who can’t stay contained. That means, a lot of my free time is spent researching the best sportswear and equipment out there. Which has led me to one lifelong philosophical quandary: how do I keep my boys down there contained while I’m off on my adventures? I swear, I’ve tried what feels like almost every underwear brand, even those that claim to be good for sports, and somehow they all disappoint. One day while on a ski lift, after telling my friend about the uncomfortable chafe I was feeling, he put me on to SAXX, supposedly “life-changing” underwear meant for active lifestyles.

After reading their overwhelmingly positive (and hilarious) reviews on Amazon, I did some deeper research into what made their $29.95 underwear so good. First of all, their revolutionary feature called the BallPark Pouch™ kept the boys nestled down there comfortably. It’s an ingenious structure designed like an inverted hammock for a level of support unlike any of my other boxers. Next, the underwear uses panels on the inside of the leg to reduce chafe, as well as construction that places the flat, softer side of the seam inward for superior comfort. SAXX underwear turned out to be the “life changing epiphany” I’ve been looking for. After trying on my first few pairs, I decided to put a few SAXX models to the test. Here’s what I thought of three of their most popular underwear types for my various activities.

Kinetic

I’ve been running ever since I joined the track team my sophomore year of high school, and while I love it to this day, I’ve never been able to find a supportive enough pair of boxer-briefs that dries quickly. Usually I can’t wait to get boxers off after a long, sweaty run. I found these Kinetic underwear impressively cool (both in style and feel) and they fit really well. But most importantly, their quick-drying anti-odor material made them super comfortable during my whole run, and I even was able to hang out in them afterward and not offend the whole room.

Quest 2.0

Quest 2.0 is now my go-to pair for traveling and hiking. Since they’re so lightweight, quick-drying, and easy to wash, they’re very versatile for spontaneous adventures. They’re comfortable all day long, so I never have to worry about having to adjust them at inopportune times (like on a crowded airplane). My wife says they look great, too. With their anti-fold waistband and slick designs, I feel kind of awesome in them.

Blacksheep

Now these are some smart underwear. Since they’re made of temperature regulating Merino wool, they keep you feeling cool in the summer and warm in the winter. But don’t get scared by the word “wool”; it’s super light and flexible, great for both winter and summer sports. I’ve been skiing in these and have played soccer in them, and they keep me comfortable no matter the weather.

After surveying the impressive variety of SAXX out there, they’re now the only underwear brand I use. For all of my active needs, there’s a SAXX that’s perfect for me. And yes, this underwear really is life-changing and completely worth the price. Plus, all SAXX come with a 100% comfort guarantee, which means if you don’t love them, you can get a 100% refund. But trust me, if you love to be outdoors like me, you’re going to love SAXX.
